About the Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting Rule

This requirement was created to enhance transparency in entity structures and ownership, aiming to counteract money laundering, tax fraud, and other unlawful activities. Reporting companies, including corporations, limited liability companies, and similar entities, will need to provide information about the company itself, its beneficial owners, and company applicants to FinCEN (the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network), FinCEN is a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Failure to comply with the new requirements may result in fines and potentially criminal charges. Please visit the Small Entity Compliance Guide for more information, to find out if you may qualify for an exemption, and other questions and concerns.

You can file your BOI Report with InCorp using our easy and secure online form.

What Defines a Reporting Company?

Reporting companies encompass specific domestic businesses and foreign entities obligated to adhere to the beneficial ownership rule:
  • Domestic Companies: es (LLCs), or other entities (such as statutory trusts, business trusts, or foundations) established by filing documents with a secretary of state or a similar office in the U.S.
  • Foreign Entities: This classification involves companies established under the laws of a foreign country, which initiated their existence by filing documents with a secretary of state or an equivalent office to conduct business in the U.S.
The Beneficial Ownership Information reporting requirements do not universally apply to all businesses. A total of twenty-three distinct types of businesses are granted exemptions, which include the following:
  1. Large operating companies
  2. Insurance companies
  3. Accounting firms
  4. Tax-exempt organizations
  5. Inactive entities

Each category of reporting company exemption is subject to specific regulations. To illustrate, large operating companies are exempt only if they meet certain criteria, such as employing more than 20 full-time employees in the U.S., maintaining a physical office in the U.S., and U.S. gross receipts or sales exceeding $5 million reported on the previous year's business tax return. For the complete list of reporting company exemptions and comprehensive details, it is advisable to refer to FinCEN's Small Entity Compliance Guide.
